So I am getting a DW Collectors kit shipped to me in a couple of weeks. The problem is I need to buy a snare to go with it. Throughout all my years of playing, I have never had to buy and after-market snare. So I don't know what I am looking for. Sound wise I know I want a fat sounding snare with a pop. Thus I prefer a 6.5x14 in size. I only have you tube and such to listen to different snares. The following are snares that the drum shop I am getting my DW's from has in stock. The only one I am familiar with just based on ALOT of people recommending with is the Black Beauty. Any feedback or help would be appreciated.
